Camps and Youth Programs

Explore, Create and Play With Us

U of R Camps and Youth Programs offer the perfect blend of fun, learning, and adventure for the children in your life – newborns through to age18! Plus, explore the many programs offered during the year like private music lessons, swimming lessons or coding programs. From thrilling outdoor activities and creative arts to science experiments and team sports, there’s something for everyone.

Your child can explore an interest or develop their passion with interactive, hands-on, and engaging activities at a camp, a workshop or season-long programs. 

Our experienced and enthusiastic staff are often U of R students or alumni and are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where youth can explore their interests, develop new skills, and build lasting friendships.

Create Lifelong Skills and Interests

Give your child the opportunity to spark a love of coding, swimming, sport, singing, performing or experimenting when they're young. Not sure if you are ready to commit? Start with a camp or a short program, then cultivate that interest with more in-depth discover and skill development with a season- or year-long program. These skills and interests can stay with your child or teen as they create and explore throughout their lives!

Learn Independence, Self-reliance, and Leadership

Being away from home helps children gain a sense of independence in a supportive and nurturing setting and helps them develop confidence. The lessons learned at U of R camps and programs last a lifetime and will help your child grow into a well-rounded adult. Plus, they can meet new people and develop social skills as they interact with peers, foster friendships, enagage in teamwork, and learn leadership skills.

Let the adventure begin!
